i'm not a bad man

Chapter 113 The Old Waste Band

When I walked to Lu Xi, I felt like I was sober from the wine. I looked back subconsciously and found that Qiao Jiao had closed the bathroom door, as if it was nothing to do with her, but it was clearly her fault. Trouble is coming...

I wanted to muddle through, but Lu Xi kept focusing on me, and her eyes were full of doubt and disbelief. I don’t blame her for acting like this, because the bathroom should be a place where gender is clear. There shouldn't be women; if there are women, there shouldn't be men.At this moment, if I don’t have a reasonable explanation, it will be difficult for others to misunderstand me.

"Uh... I was too hasty just now and didn't lock the door. Qiao Jiao thought there was no one inside and followed her in."

"Shouldn't it be her who comes out?"

I became more and more embarrassed, but I still had the courage to explain: "She said that I didn't treat her as a woman, and she didn't treat me as a human being, so she didn't pay too much attention to the difference between men and women, and we chatted for a few words. ." After saying that, I was afraid that Lu Xi wouldn't believe it, so I shouted to Qiao Jiao in the bathroom: "Sister Jiao, are these your exact words?"

Qiao Jiao pretended to be deaf and dumb inside.

Lu Xi finally sighed: "She really doesn't look like a woman or a human being!"

"Actually, it's not as dirty as you think..." After a short pause, I let go of my inner shame and tentatively asked Lu Xi: "You didn't hear what we just said, did you?"

"No."

I have never deliberately concealed my past, but when I was talking to Qiao Jiao, it came up with Zuo Xiaowei and the fact that we had a relationship. Even if I was honest, this kind of thing was It can only be mentioned in passing. Of course I don’t want to have specific objects and events, especially when facing Luxi...

This kind of thing can be mentioned in one stroke. Once there is a specific object and event, it can easily trigger the imagination of onlookers... What's more, I also admitted in front of Qiao Jiao that I was the one who didn't admit it after pulling up his pants. , if Lu Xi really hears our conversation, my image in her mind will inevitably become extremely ugly, which is something I don't want to see anyway.

I looked at Lu Xi, trying to distinguish the true from the false... Suddenly I felt at ease. She is different from Qiao Jiao. She is really the kind of woman who can make people feel trustful. She will definitely not do such a confusing thing. Since she said she didn't hear it, she really didn't hear it.

……

I returned to the rooftop. Maybe I got off to a bad start, or maybe everyone really drank a lot. After I sat down, everyone went to the bathroom one after another, and those who came back lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones. , but it made the originally lively rooftop become deserted; and I also realized that although this newly rented house is good, its reception capacity is really limited, especially the bathroom, which will be stretched when there are more people; if, this If there are two bathrooms in the suite, the embarrassment just now might not happen.

It took half an hour for everyone to get together, and I took advantage of this gap to reheat the already cold skewers, and then grilled some skewers such as dried tofu that are easy to drink. I don’t want to leave the show so soon, I want them to stay and drink with me for a while... I don’t know what’s wrong with me. The more people there are, the more afraid I will be of loneliness after the show is over, especially when I’m here and everyone else is gone. , I can’t leave by myself, looking at the garbage and wine bottles on the ground, and thinking of the excitement while drinking, I can’t help but feel lonely.

……

The drinking game continued, and this was considered the second round, but Liu Chuang had already said that he could not drink anymore because he had work tomorrow, and if he got drunk, it would affect his condition tomorrow. Only then did I realize that among our group, Only Liu Chuang is working steadily!
Liu Chuang just stopped drinking, but he didn't leave. He took over the responsibility of barbecue. When we drank, he would bake things for us to eat. I didn't have to be distracted anymore, so my desire to drink became even stronger.

……

In the blink of an eye, a few of us drank two more cases of beer. During the break, I specially handed a cigarette to Shaozhu, and then said to him in a very sincere tone: "You should know that we have gathered here today. It’s not all about drinking and eating here... Liu Chuang’s child was lost and someone said he had seen it at Qingdao Railway Station, so I wanted to form a band and perform charity performances in shopping malls on weekends. The shopping mall has a large flow of people and is very efficient in communication. It's also high. Maybe some of the people watching the show know the whereabouts of the child... Now we have the lead singer, backup singer, keyboardist, rhythm guitarist, and lead guitarist, but we are missing a drummer and bassist... I was in your bar before Drinking, I know that you are very good at playing the drums, so I really want to ask you to contribute. Let's do this together..." When I said this, Liu Chuang, who was having a barbecue, also replied Looking over his shoulder, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

The saucy pig took the cigarette from my hand, squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, then replied: "I also saw the WeChat post you posted on Moments. I'll tell you the truth, don't you not like to hear it... In fact, the child is staying in Qingdao. The possibility is almost non-existent... Why did you see the child at the train station? Obviously, the traffickers were transiting in Qingdao at that time, and only backward areas with old ideas like to buy and sell children... Qingdao is so In this prosperous city, the settlement system is so strict, who would dare to blatantly sell their children here... I have been in Qingdao for almost ten years, and I have never heard of any news about buying children here, have you heard of it?"

After saying that, Saozhu began to scan everyone, and finally set his sights on me. Although I had thought about it before, I still refused to waver in my desire to find the child because of Saozhu's words. Shen Sheng replied: "As for finding the child, even if there is only one ten thousandth chance, Liu Chuang and I will not give up. However, the possibility of the child staying in Qingdao is not high. If it is not in Qingdao, China has There are so many cities and there are countless backward mountain villages. According to you, there is no need to look for children at all? Because no matter where you find them, there is a chance of finding a needle in a haystack."

Sao Zhu fell into silence, and so did I...

At this time, I thought of my parents. The reason why I was so persistent in finding a child was because I knew that one day I would also have such a day. What makes me luckier than Liu Chuang is that although my parents They are missing, but they have the ability to survive independently and go back. Maybe they are just disappointed with the environment they are in, so they temporarily find a place to relax.

I'm not that anxious, but if they don't come back, one day I will have to embark on this road of finding relatives, and now, it is a process of psychological preparation and a rehearsal.

After a while, Sao Zhu finally replied: "To tell you the truth, I really am not in the mood to start a band now, let alone rehearse with you... My life has been a mess recently, and I can't wait to Dig a hole and bury yourself!"

"what's the situation?"

Sao Zhu sighed but refused to say anything. At this time, Zuo Xiaowei, who was sitting next to him, took over and said, "He was cuckolded."

Sao Zhu covered his face with his hands, not knowing whether it was because he was embarrassed or because he didn’t want everyone to see his painful look. We were shocked. In our impression, Sao Zhu and his wife were obviously very affectionate. They had been dating since they were in college. After falling in love, Saozhu followed his wife to Qingdao after graduation. It has been ten years now...

It’s hard to ask about this kind of thing in detail, so we can only wait for Saozhu to speak for himself; Liu Chuang inadvertently burnt the skewers, and Saozhu then said: “It’s really embarrassing to be thrown into grandma’s house...I’m even embarrassed. Let me tell you... I've been feeling really bad lately. It's okay if you ask me to come over for a drink, but you ask me to start a band. I'm really not in that state."

To say that Sao Zhu is a rich man, he has been drinking here with us for a long time. He was the one making the noise and the one making the drunkenness. He looked the same, but he didn't expect that he was holding such a nuclear bomb in his heart.

I couldn't help but glance at the men besides me at this time: Saozhu was cheated on in marriage, Liu Chuang lost his child, Tu Lin lost his job and lost his love, Brother Shanhe lost his wife in middle age, and I wasn't much better. , the woman I once deeply loved, in order to please her "financier", she did not hesitate to repair her hymen, and also overturned everything she had experienced with me before, turning me into a joke.

If there is a hell in this world and there are suffering ghosts in it, it must be these men here.

……

I picked up the cup and took a sip of beer, then slammed the cup on the table, and said to Saozhu: "Come with us to be a band. We are all frustrated men who can't get up, and the music is too bad." The best cure." After a pause, I added: "I've even thought of the name of the band. Really, it's called the Old Waste Band. I will be the lead singer and lead guitarist, you will be the drummer, and Tu Lin will be the band's name. Rhythm guitarist, Brother Shanhe is the keyboardist... I hope all the trash alive in life will have someone to wait for them if they are poor, someone will accompany them if they are ordinary, and they will have true love if they are rich... If there is ever a day when they will be rich!"
